Ask the Pharmacist
Featuring: Dr. Jane Auja, Chief Pharmacist at Felyn Pharmacy

What’s the most important thing a patient should do when they get a new prescription?
Always ask questions — what the medicine is for, how to take it, and what to avoid. Don’t just take it and leave
What’s a common mistake people make with medication?
Many people stop taking medicine when they "feel better." That’s dangerous, especially with antibiotics.
Any advice for parents giving medicine to kids?
Use proper measuring tools. Don’t guess with kitchen spoons — accuracy matters!
What’s your top tip for safe medication use?
Never mix medication with alcohol, and always check with your pharmacist before combining drugs.
